Chapter 13 Applications DLNA The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files stored on DLNA servers. The ARMOR Z1 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream files to DLNA-compliant media clients without any configuration. Workgroup name This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network. File Systems A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing feature on your ARMOR Z1 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32 file systems. Windows/CIFS Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems in order to share files across the network. CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web browsers, to open and share files across the Internet. The ARMOR Z1 uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the ARMOR Z1. CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility). Samba SMB is a client-server protocol used by Microsoft Windows systems for sharing files, printers, and so on. Samba is a free SMB server that runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems. It provides an implementation of an SMB client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems. File Transfer Protocol This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the Internet. ARMOR Z1 User's Guide 108

DLNA

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics

companies that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files

stored on DLNA servers. The ARMOR Z1 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream

files to DLNA-compliant media clients without any configuration.

Workgroup name

This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources

such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a

network.

File Systems

A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often

different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing

feature on your ARMOR Z1 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT)

and FAT32 file systems.

Windows/CIFS

Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems

in order to share files across the network.

CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft

Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web

browsers, to open and share files across the Internet.

The ARMOR Z1 uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions.

CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the ARMOR Z1.

CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer

to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility).

Samba

SMB is a client-server protocol used by Microsoft Windows systems for sharing files, printers, and

so on.

Samba is a free SMB server that runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems. It provides an

implementation of an SMB client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems.

File Transfer Protocol

This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the

Internet.
